Hinweis der Redaktion
- There’s talking politics and being political Bruno Latour.
- Superficially, networks appear to democratize communication and relations BUT....Examples early experiences of women in Internet communicationAnd http://www.bmj.com/content/339/bmj.b2680.full
- “Admit that humans have crawled or secreted themselves into every corner of the environmentAdmit that the environment is actually inside human bodies and minds,And then proceed politically, technologically , scientifically (as best as you are able)With care and humility, forbearance….:”as you might with unruly relatives to whom you are inextricably bound and with whome you will engage over a lifetime, like it or not. Give up the futility of trying to disentangle, to say its only a tool as if it had not tainted you and you it…Seek instead to engage civilly,Strategically?, with human and nonhuman alike… the ones you like and the ones that are harder to tame, the hopeful monsters as Law refers to them.Jane Bennett, Vibrant MattersSimilar thoughts also being expressed by Barad and by Lucy Suchman and by Helen Verran; Stories that interrupt…. That trouble…John LawUse of boundary objects to cross spaces, to move through resistance
- Nothing is ever solved in the abstract, practice is always local, performed,Empirical research stories requiredPatti LatherResearch stories that interrupt, that trouble, telling stories that are not bound by niceness"An ache of wings ” Wanting to tell a victory narrative and knowing thats not the whole story, wrestling with how to tell of whats not so prettyPromethius“Prometheus transgressed the boundaries of the human condition. In hubris, or measureless presumption, he brought fire from the heavens and thereby Nemesis onto himself; he was chained to a Caucasian rock. An eagle preyed on his liver, and heartlessly healing gods kept him alive by regrafting it each night. The encounter with Nemesis made the classical hero of this epic tragedy an immortal reminder of inescapable cosmic retaliation….Everyman now becomes Prometheus; he has fallen prey to the envy of the gods in his inordinate attempt to transform the human condition. Nemesis has become endemic; it is the backlash of progress.” (Illich, 1989/199, p. ¶ 3)A humility to move forward knowing one never knows it all, that the whole picture is always only known from ones own situated reality, that other realities exist…that with the best of intentions, the tensions sometimes create, always create other outcomes… nonetheless, to study what is to inform how things might also always be otherwise.
